Joe Henry piosenki

Day after day I wonder why This still should be Any kind of surprise; Nothing has changed When I open my eyes — I’m just a friend… I'm just a friend to you. Tables are turned End over end And this is a room Where no love has been; And no love live...

A dog-eared mind sniffed my heart Like a pocket full of German marks Long after the war was through Stood me on a rusted rail Turned my face and kicked my tail Up toward the yonder blue … Threw a fish up on the bank And watched him dance from the air h...

There’s a train already come, There’s a train already come, Her hands are birds, her heart a drum – Lo these many years There’s a horse upon a yard, There’s a horse upon a yard, The blooms are sweet, the stems are hard – Lo these many years There’s a...

From the mountain comes a soul And the stones grow up like trees From the mountain comes a soul And the stones grow up like trees All blues hail Mary with her roses But you're their masterpiece Cut away each blade of grass Our feet cannot tramp down...

If I know my angels, I know what they'd say. Be still my little butcher boy, you'll give us all away. Be still you wretched little freak, give us room to move. Give us milk, you little pig, we'll tell you when we're through. My love is like a mountain, he...

I see in you an animal trace That's quick in your blond and deep in your face, Mine has been tamed; I'm shamed to pretend When I'm this close to your animal skin I remember when love was something I craved Bot I settled for less and the comfort it gave,...

I’m through with this, this beautiful hat I’ve never let nothing be as easy as that I won’t let it be like the nest of a dream A cradle for a stone when all of this seems As likely as stones are to rise up and sing As likely as birds to fly out of this th...

I'm going to climb that hill and look out across Climb that hill and look out across Climb that hill and look out across A long ways off from here I'm going to dig my well from the bottom to the top Dig my well from the bottom to the top Dig my well fro...

She stands and unfurls her Clean bed clothes by the door Like a barber shakes all that falls From your shoulders to the floor; And I find a letter I’d once written Half buried in her drawer And I wonder how I’ve come to know So much less than I knew bef...

There’s something caught in my teeth And a cricket that won’t let me sleep, He sizzles like a radio Another world away; He laughs at me in my bare feet My flashlight, robe and blown TV. Reading an in-flight magazine About Bob and Ray I can see it all...

Shoot the street light out Leave the porch light on, Give away a shout From whoever's side you're on; Bury every hope you ever dreamed of Deep enough so that no dogs come around, There's a loose thread at your seam Love And a fire taking hold of your g...

How can I change the lights The color of this room Why can't this channel find A kinder afternoon I feel the fray of every letter To cross your lips that know no better Disarray, disarray I want my story straight But all the others bend From wondero...

“Long ago” is just a whisper From the eaves and the pines To the rumble-wheels once bearing Endless fortune from the mines; Still the night is for the taking When the day was barely warmer, And the girls who hurry by Cross laughing at the corner But t...

I don't know you to wear a hat But I came home late and there it sat, You rose to show what hats are for When living through a civil war, When living through a civil war Christmas mornings and New Years Days They flood with dreams and drift away, They...

Light no lamp when the sun comes down The dark will speak, has things to say Something lost and never found Hides from the cold watchful eyes of day Close no door against the cold The angry storm is alive in you It's like a story never told And it tear...

Just think what a day's rain can do A bridge once between us is lost, I set it to sway And now here I stay Till it's cold enough to cross I stand on the bank watching on You wade in the flood and I'm lost, You're calling my name But I wait just the...

My camera doesn't lie to me, I see dark tears behind its eye, My camera doesn't lie to me, I see dark tears behind its eye It looks backwards on my future, Already in the sweet by-and-by The rambler vines are climbing, They lock their arms across my wa...

There's a truck pulling up to the house next door However, I'm dead to the world, There's a hat blowing off of your head to the floor Now I'm dead to the world; On dirty old Dean Street the power is down And too cold to dig a good hole in the ground For...

There's a song we used to know A kind of weary blues Some broken tune from long ago Some of us still like to use It hangs up high in the rafters Like smoke it has no form Keep it all hid like laughter And sing out death, death to the storm Death to t...

How do you like your blue-eyed boy? How do you like your blue-eyed boy? Now the rabble have been jailed, The moon is up, had hung and paled The horses spooked, the fences failed … How do you like your boy? How do you hear your lion's song? How do you h...
